Symposium on environmental control in archive repositories

Symposium
Environmental control in archive repositories
Herbert Art Gallery and Museum, Coventry
Thursday 8 March 2012

Calling all Conservators, Archivists, Curators, Records Managers and
other interested professionals: An exciting opportunity to
participate in this Symposium on environmental control in archive
repositories.

Delegates will hear the experiences of conservators who have played
a major part in dealing with environmental issues when moving to a
new build, they will also learn about insect/pest infestations and
their environment and how to control them and how to make the most
of your storage space.

Delegates will also get the opportunity to question the panelists.

We would encourage delegates to bring questions to the symposium on
aspects of environmental control within their own archive
repositories.

This event is also an excellent opportunity for delegates to meet,
network and share their ideas and experiences.
